An engaging introduction to Zen Buddhism, featuring a new English
translation of one of the earliest Zen texts Leading Buddhist
scholar Sam van Schaik explores the history and essence of Zen,
based on a new translation of one of the earliest surviving
collections of teachings by Zen masters. These teachings, titled
The Masters and Students of the Lanka, were discovered in a sealed
cave on the old Silk Road, in modern Gansu, China, in the early
twentieth century. All more than a thousand years old, the
manuscripts have sometimes been called the Buddhist Dead Sea
Scrolls, and their translation has opened a new window onto the
history of Buddhism. Both accessible and illuminating, this book
explores the continuities between the ways in which Zen was
practiced in ancient times, and how it is practiced today in East
Asian countries such as Japan, China, Korea, and Vietnam, as well
as in the emerging Western Zen tradition.
